Pancakes with cabbage

One can not even point out the century when pancakes appeared on the territory of our country, most likely, even before the very concept of Rus appeared. Many facts speak in favor of the fact that pancakes were a symbol of the sun. And the ancient Slavs worshiped him as a supreme deity.

Sunrise and sunset - the birth of the sun and death, concepts for ancient people are interrelated. Varieties of pancakes are known to almost all peoples, but none of them puts as much sacred meaning in pancakes as in Russia. According to the etymological dictionary, the word "pancake" comes from the verb grind, that is, something prepared from ground grain, it is likely that here lies the opposition to what is prepared from whole grain, namely porridge.
